Ocean exploration has become one of the most important strategies for a sustainable development for our world. To better understand the ocean and make an efficient use of its resources, autonomous marine vehicles (AMVs) including both surface and underwater vehicles play an essential role to extend and accelerate the exploration capabilities. This chapter provides an in-depth review of the key technologies in the development of autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), which are two main types of AMVs. With the illustration of some typical vehicle prototypes, the control methods and deployment strategies of ASVs and AUVs, especially the collaborative operation of these two types of vehicles, have been discussed to inspire a wide application of marine autonomy in future ocean explorations.
